For the Saber - first official roleplaying adventure in the DJB

Fellow Dark Jedi,

in order to try out a few things and to give you a chance to explore the world of roleplaying, I have decided to start a first campaign adventure. This will be run as a strict campaign on the messageboard.

The rules of a strict campaign are simply those you know from most RPGs - you have a character and this character has what the gamemaster allows you. Experience, Items and Rank are earned within the game,but so are injury and death. In this particular adventure, you will be a Jedi Hunter trying to earn his saber working together with or against six others.

Your character sheet will be created for you after your description - prospective players will be asked to answer certain questions about their character's identity, strengths and weaknesses and the numerical translation will be done in the LH office. So you decide what you get, but you won't get to do the number crunching. You cannot play your real DB character BTW.

The messageboard RPG style I wish to try out is a 1 post per day style. Each game turn - be it a combat round or several hours of hyperspace travel - lasts one day of real time. In this time, you should make a post about what you do. If you write nothing, you will likely get to do nothing :) Important - do not describe sucess or failure.

In the evenings (European time), I will evaluate your actions, roll the dice that need rolling and describe the outcomes. Then it's your turn again. And so on. Until you have completed the adventure or your character is dead.

For the writers among you: This will be a quite deadly adventure, I expect a maximum of three of the seven to come back alive. So don't use a character you want to keep around. If someone dies very early in the game, I will allow them one spare character.

What I need now is ONE adventurous person per Clan. If more than one per Clan comes in, you may be able to play as a fictional member of a different Clan in case that Clan sends no representative at all. I'd like to start as soon as possible, but I'll understand if the majority wants to wait until the Krath RoS is over. So please indicate if you want to play now or post-RoS. But if it's "later" and I get to fill my crew with "now" players, you're out of luck.

LH staff may participate as players or help run the adventure as desired.

People wishing to play should mail me ASAP. First come first serve (unless I have a real good reason to prefer a later application - and the only ones I see is known unreliability or extremely bad character writing from the side of the first candidate). Detail your desired character in your mail and the more detailed you go, the more the sheet will reflect your wishes. Include preferred weapons, Force powers you're good or bad at, skills, some background, etc.

Oh - reward ? A DarkCross for everyone who lasts out the campaign until their gory demise. And those who survive get to keep their character as an officially approved then-DJK character for future strict campaigns in PR. Plus more if you impress me.

how will one join the roleplaying
